TODO:
Have you ever wanted to use the Entity Framework to insert a new record into the database, and get back the identity associated with it?
SOLUTION:
using(DataEntities dataEntities = new DataEntities())
{
FormNumber formNumber = new FormNumber();
dataEntities.AddToFormNumbers(formNumber);
dataEntities.SaveChanges();
return formNumber.Id;
}
NOTES:
This assumes you have an EDMX created called "DataEntities". It assumes you have a table called "FormNumber", with an Identity column called "Id".
